Greetings, I have a fender Jazz Bass it has the serial # 170173. It is tobbacco sunburst and 100% original except it is missing bridge cover and other chrome cover thats over the neck p/u. But I wouldn't say it was the pick-up cover, if that makes any sense to you. It sat under the bed pretty much all of its life thus in excellent condition- no buckle wear, no rust, practically flawless except for a couple of small dings with the one on lower side of bottom bout being the most noticiable. Has 2 large volume knobs and one small tone knob. Have OHSC with orange lining. According to fender site could be 1966 or 67.My father purchased it in 1967 brand new. Wondering if there was way to tell more definitive date? Its the only thing my father left me beside a bad attitude :cry: . Interested in knowing estimated value. I play guitar and son has no interest in playing at this time so wanted to find out all I could about instrument. Please hep me. Don't know if washin or hanging out, dagnabit

if it is an authentic 66/7 fender then i'm very very jealous!

The date of the guitar's manufacture should be stamped on the heel of the neck and in the neck pocket of the guitar's body. Probably best to get a guitar tech or someone who knows their stuff to help you take the neck off if you're not confident.

I'd urge you not to sell it. These guitars only appreciate in value and they make lovely things to hand down. I'd suggest its time to learn some bass :D
